Not What It Looks Like (ao3) - LavenderAuthor T, 14k

Summary: Tony Stark is known as many things: Genius, Inventor, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist, Iron Man. Honestly, nobody doubted any of those even when he started to date Pepper Potts. He was not, however, known for tolerating or even liking kids.

It was just something that everyone seemed to know so imagine Steve Rogers's shock when he comes by Tony's lab with a list of equipment they needed upgraded to find what looked like a teenager in his lab. Even more shocking was the teen chattering away to Tony himself.

Perfect Intern for.... security? (ao3) - HideHereWithMe T, 5k

Summary: “Put them in the fucking bag!”

God. Marcus wants to punch him in the face. And he want to ask-

“Put what in the bag? Can’t you be more goddamned specific?”

The gun goes off. He is faced with a back instead of a face. There’s a hole in the wall besides the door that just opened. Beside the person that aired the questioned with the most irritated tone ever. The new intern. Peter B. Parker. --- New intern Peter Parker seems to be excelling at his scientific work as a Stark Industries intern. Only problem is, is that he is also excelling at hitting people in the head. Now, can somebody tell him, where the fuck is the actual security?!

Promises of Tomorrow (ao3) - PinkEasterEggs G, 5k

Summary: Posters of Star Wars were dotted around and there were multiple LEGO sets littered on the floor. Clothes were left lying around, some thrown on the back of the chair and some on the carpet. There was a collection of paper and books on the wooden desk, each large volume for a different school subject. All in all, Steve would’ve said that the room belonged to a kid. The obvious youth that dominated the area confused Steve as he walked into the room further.A loud blaring sound echoed through Steve’s air, FRIDAY’s dominating voice cutting into the air. “You are not permitted to enter this room Captain Rogers.”Steve jumped out of the room like the floor was on fire, his confusion only growing. “Whose room is that FRIDAY?”“Boss has not permitted me to answer that question.”Was Tony hiding a secret kid?The Rogue Avengers have been pardoned, returning home for the first time after a year and a half on the run. Steve expects for things to be the same as how he left but it seems that everything has changed. Apparently Tony now had a kid.

unexpected uncle (ao3) - shootothrill G, 4k

Summary: This is the moment Happy can finally put into words what has been happening all this time—the subtle attention, the affection, the caring.

Where Is Your Boy Tonight (I Hope He Is A Gentleman) by ashavahishta (Nick Grimshaw)

When they hang out together at other times, Nick is usually more careful. It’s not that he’s expecting Harry to cut off their friendship or something ridiculous when he finds out. It’s that he knows Harry would be lovely about it. Harry would look at him with huge sympathetic eyes and apologise that he didn’t feel the same way, and then he’d give him a huge hug and go home to Louis with Nick’s broken heart cradled in the palm of his hand.

We Rest Our Heads Upon One Pillow by ashavahishta (Zayn)

Sometimes Zayn aches for something like what Louis and Harry have.

'til there's no one left to hound you by orphan_account (Liam)

Harry and Louis's relationship from Liam's point of view, as management cracks down on them and hiding gets harder. Liam doesn't know what it is that makes them so special, and he's scared sometimes, so scared, that it will glow too hot one day and simply burn out.

Lil' Cockwarmer Boy by @sadaveniren (Zayn)

Zayn was just on a holiday date with his boyfriend when he gets an eyeful of two fellow diners.

Don't Get Your Bunk In A Funk by Grand Buzz (Liam)

Liam's only trying to sleep. It's not his fault that Harry and Louis keep messing around with a flashlight under the sheets.

In small towns, you do not find much happening stuff on day to day basis. So whatever tit bit you get becomes​ the biggest gossip. My job as a motel maid allowed me access to many such gossips.

A Nice Young Man (ao3) - BuckyWithTheGoodHair86 G, 5k

Summary: Bucky is on the run after the events of CA:WS, trying to keep a low profile and stay out of the way. He ends up in Bucharest, in a run-down apartment building where people leave him alone.

It’s just—look, here’s this kid who’s an actual orphan and yet he’s still more loved than Flash is. It’s wrong, Flash knows, to hurt him like this. But how is he supposed to respond, except with violence?

Like father, like son.

Carrots in moderation (ao3) - Bergen G, 7k

Summary: Betty only needs one visit of Tony Stark to their high school to confirm what she had long suspected. One: Peter Parker has terrible luck. Two: Flash is an ass. Three: So is Tony Stark.

Faced with all of the students having to transfer to other schools for the rest of the year, including Peter, Tony decides to offer the first three floors of Stark Tower (which are mostly empty because they were being renovated) to Midtown. That way his kid won’t have to transfer schools and lose his friends.

OR

Mr. Morita asks Tony why he’s doing this, and Tony says it’s for his kid, but doesn’t specify who that is. A fun fic with mostly outsider POV’s and some angst. Does this count as a Peter’s Field Trip To Stark Industries story? I don’t know. Is it outlandish? Absolutely.

Good Neighbors (ao3) - Miladydragon clint/phil T, 4k

Summary: To the townsfolk of Clarksville, Ohio, they were Clint and Phil, their neighbors. They didn't care a single whit that they were both retired superheroes. And they always looked after their own.

Moving On (ao3) - nununununu sam/bucky G, 1k

Summary: Humans and human-like creatures often make many mistakes.

One such mistake is their assumption that she’s the type of creature they call a cat. She supposes she understands. She’s taken on the form of a cat for the time being and they rarely see beyond external form.

--

Trusting her kittens with these humans, though? This isn't a mistake on any of their parts.

secret keeper (ao3) - jilliancares peter/wade G, 7k

“Crappy day to get kidnapped, amirite?” he says, crouching next to Ellie and deftly untying her restraints. “Looks like these guys were amateurs, though. They didn’t even lock the windows.”

In which Ellie accidentally becomes the one person who knows Spider-Man's identity. She doesn't tell her dad.

Seven AM in the Snack Aisle (ao3) - Singing_Siren T, 2k

Summary: Look, it's only a matter of time until they let something slip, Peter knows this, but he really didn't expect it to go this way. Who knew that staying awake for three days straight before going on a snack run isn't a good idea for secret identities and/or secret kids? ("I'm not Mr. Stark's kid! Seriously, Abe, why would you think that? It's not like he pays for me, clothes me, feeds me, helps me through nightmares… Oh. Huh.")

Or: two sleep-deprived geniuses get hungry and make bad decisions

(For the prompt: "Sam/Bucky getting together, but told through increasingly exasperated exchanges between Zemo, who is trying to get them to see they’re perfect for each other, and the poor hapless bartender of the hole-in-a-wall bar down the street who is just growing used to the weird rich European who drinks their “top-shelf” bourbon while mostly one-sidedly bitching about his roommates/coworkers/parole officers.")

“I just didn’t think he’d hire high school kids for internships.”

“It was through the September Foundation. He liked my application.”

-

Or, David has been working on the security team of Stark Industries for four years when he gets the call one morning that he's needed to replace Happy Hogan in the very strange, mundane task of picking up a teenage boy from school in Queens. Things get really off-track when David and said teenage boy are kidnapped, but it's fine. Everything is fine. David's job depends on everything, especially the unknown kid, being perfectly okay by the end of this.

The Stark Kid (ao3) - Foxi220 T, 11k

Summary: There were many theories about his identity (some more ridiculous than others) but the fact was, none of the SI workers actually knew which one was true. And that’s why they all settled on calling him The Kid.

It’s not like he was really secretive or didn’t talk to anybody. It was quite the opposite actually. He was very talkative and his mouth seemed to never shut up. But he just rarely was in one place long enough to have a longer, meaningful conversation about his identity with anybody. Or he talked so much that nobody had an occasion to ask him any questions.

So he stayed a secret to everyone working in the tower. Until, one day, to everyone’s surprise, he came to SI with a field trip from Midtown High.

Or, Peter goes on a field trip to SI and the interns gossip

Summary: When a field trip to Stark Industries ends in disaster, Roger Harrington finds himself faced with an impossible choice. Suddenly, Tony Stark is shoving an NDA in his face while Peter Parker stares at him with terrified, desperate eyes. Nothing in his 13-year teaching career could have prepared Harrington for this, but he knows one thing for sure: ten years ago, he’d stared down into the sightless eyes of a seventeen-year-old girl, and he’d sworn to himself that he would never again lose another student. He’s going to do everything in his power to keep that promise now…even if it costs him everything.

Set during and post Spider-Man Homecoming. A realistic field trip story that also explores the long-term consequences of trauma and responsibility, written by a real-life teacher.

“Nonsense,” Tony said, speaking before Peter could. “She’s a very busy woman, I, on the other hand, have all the time in the world.”

Jim kept eye contact with Peter, who just nodded. “It’s fine, I’m sure he would show up anyway…”

Tony gave a very smug grin to both Peter and then to Jim.

quaranteens (ao3) - blueh T, 6k

Summary: “Peter Parker,” Cindy says. Peter’s head snaps up so fast that it almost looks inhuman. “Did Tony Stark just waltz in and pick up his child in the background of your Zoom call?”

Peter freezes. Wide-eyed, with ‘guilty’ written on his forehead in 72, bold, Times New Roman font. It takes a solid thirty seconds before he can put himself together enough to click the unmute button.

“I—no?” Peter says. His voice is startlingly high pitched and his expression is nothing short of horrified.

Damn, if that isn’t anything but a confession.

Or: a day in the life of the quarantined high school spider-kid, as seen through the eyes of his first-period chemistry class.

Just A Face On A Train (ao3) - katherynefromphilly G, 11k

Summary: As she approached the actually rather unremarkable looking young man, she felt a swell of doubt. Was he really who she’d thought he was? Spider-Man had been a giant of a man, someone she could easily imagine at the front of her train, gripping hundreds of webs with power enough to crush the train car into the shape of his body.

This boy looked barely able to carry his overstuffed backpack. With his Oxford shirt and jeans and neatly combed hair, he could have been the poster child for a 1950s science scholarship. Not someone you imagined facing down an eight-armed psychopath on a speeding train.

Half convinced she’d imagined the whole thing, Maggie crossed the diner and stepped up to his table. After a moment he noticed her, lifting his attention from an open book full of equations and cracker crumbs to look right at her.

All doubt vanished when Maggie looked into his blue eyes and round face. It was him. No question. It was Spider-Man, right here at her table, waiting to order breakfast from her.
